retirement communities

Elder living complexes

Retirement communities are residential developments designed for older adults, typically those over 55 or 65.

They range from independent living arrangements with shared amenities to assisted living facilities offering varying levels of care.

The term often suggests a planned, age-restricted neighborhood with social activities: My parents moved to a retirement community in Arizona.
